I, personally, will remember an era of gross incompetence, insanity and missed opportunity. And your favourite owner from the past is?? I understand why folk can't be bothered with Vlad but I think he has passion and is certainly outspoken. He doesn't accept what happens because thats the way it is. Even with missed opportunity? I would rather have the opportunity to miss than have nothing at all. Scottish footballing set up is insanity and goes backwards so anyone with sense would not challenge it, thus giving our need for the mad one to spend his time challenging the nonsense that exists to benefit the weegie sisters.

At least he had the balls though. But id much rather live through the roller-coaster of taking on the fight, than cowering in the corner and saying 'yes sir'. I think it's debatable whether or not he stood up to the OF Our record against them since he came is: P52 W12 D10 L30 Be interesting to see if that's much better than teams like Hibs or Dundee Utd. I doubt it's better enough to earn him the accolade of "standing up" to them. He's taken in transfer fees: Free for Pressley 1mil for Hartley 1.5mil for Wallace But in the ten years or so before he came we had received: 1.3mil for McPherson 350k for McKinlay 2mil for McLaren (1.25 + McPherson) 2mil for McCann We ultimately lost Johnston, Ritchie and Weir to them but there wasn't much the owners then could have done about that.

southside1874 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 A. Wallace Mercer for me! Legend of a man, may he forever rest in peace. A legend of a man who could have actually and did challenge the weegies but was sold down the river and focused on Hibs when he should have kept going. I reckon if he never focused on taking over Hibs and bringing to their attention just how bad things at Easter Road had become. I think he done Hibs a massive favour by bringing to their attention just how bad things got. Never stood up to the weegies really and was in bed with Murray. The only time I've seen so many grown men cry at a football match, total numbness. Talk about missed opportunities and being forced to play a game with a flu riddled squad. Wallace was as good as Vlad when it came to controversy. He also took us on a rollercoaster that we will never forget. He also had folk laughing at us when it hurt, I don't get that bit from Vlad yet but I have no doubt it will come. I like Vlad because he doesn't seem to accept Hibs exist or never even mentions them. Supporting Hearts has always been a rollercoaster and will more than likely continue that way. Its just my take on it and it maybe right or wrong but Vlad gets bad press for challenging the cosy status quo. He has stood up to it very well but the media IMO are now trying to get Jambos to turn against the man so he will leave. Maybe they'll succeed. I hope not. That guy has expended a lot of time, energy and expense trying to work out WTF the footballing fraternity in this country is all about. He has put himself up and out to question the mentality and mindset and IMO is just about to show them for what they are. So they can't get to Romanov and they now try to get to the fans. Everything the guy does is reported in a bad light and is designed to make Hearts fans feel uncomfortable. Celtic are in crisis at the moment with their points total and Rangers are facing major problems. If this was investigated and reported on it would result in Hearts being not to bad. The nonsense about refs decisions not having a bearing on a game? These guys are professionals and know what to do. Hibs under Yogi had all the calls for the first half of the season and where up there. After December they got nothing and went to pot. Lennon went mental last year because he know how it can effect the outcome of a game. What happened with that dream team and Burley? Do you honestly believe Vlad broke that up? Do you think a guy capable of bringing together a successful team would be capable of destroying this? Refs where incapable of influencing things because of the play and belief. They can't get to Vlad but they got to the players. Vlad has ring fenced the players and doesn't have players with old firm tendencies. Now they try and get to the fans! Why don't I see a media article looking at what Vlad says and asking why he says what he says? Always dismissed as another mad rant. These same folk who will try and get an interview with a Hearts player knowing it will get him the sack and who will tap the phones of folk can challenge the integrity of anyone is unbelievable!

Charlie-Brown Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 As the man who spent more on our club than all the previous owners combined, who certainly divided opinions, but ultimately it will depend on the circumstances when he leaves us , LBJ is right - his last impressions might be the most lasting depending on how things pan out at that time.

Unfortunately he made many mistakes (and Burley's sacking wasn't one of them). GB has won bugger all in a 20 odd year management career. - he gave us 6 years' breathing space - saved us from the ignominy of being closed down because of the old stand's H & S isues. - gave us a SC cup win and 2nd in the league - saved us from M/field and the embarrassment of going bust - gave us a lot of hope, which is all we older HMFC fans have been used to over decades. - has put in millions into the club, although with hindsight it has turned out to be wasted As I say all has not been sweetness and light but we are still breathing and still hoping, so who knows.

I, personally, will remember an era of gross incompetence, insanity and missed opportunity. This. I can put up the incompetence and insanity (there's a lot of both around Scottish football) but it's the missed opportunity of 2005-2007 that gets me. We could realistically have won the league in 2005/06 and, going in to the second leg 2-1 down to AEK Athens, we were just one game away from the CL group stages in 2006. Losing the league in 86 and going close against Bayern in the UEFA Cup quarters were huge disappointments but I always felt we were punching above our weight. We could have won the league with Romanov's backing that year and we could have progressed in Europe. Instead we went backwards after that. Ah well...

Well said Al but I disagree with the Burley sacking. Romanov is now at the stage where he has little room for movement. I think he'll do the dirty on us, and I won't hold many fond memories of him. The Burley "weeks" was a golden period, and Romanov threw his toys out of the pram which shocked and disappointed many fans. I think he'll be remembered as a crackpot and a disappointment.
